Mitchell's Coffee House

Reviewed By Micahael G - Providence, United States

Stopped in on the way through town based on a friend's recommendation. The homemade hash was outstanding and did not disappoint for a second. Service was speedy and most pleasant with plentiful hot coffee. Did not care so much for the potatoes as I would have preferred them to be a bit more crispy. Flavor would have been a bit better for my palate.

Rein's New York Style Deli / Restaurant

New York Style Deli Sandwiches, Hand cut Lox, Breakfast Served all day, Bakery with fresh baked Bagels, Rye Bread

Reviewed By W-Hartford_CT - Connecticut

The biggest problem about Rein's is what to order. Should it be the brisket and gravy over potato pancakes? The soup with kreplach? Corn beef on rye with cole slaw and spicy mustard? I'm getting hungry typing this! The menu is expansive and the wait staff is helpful and fun. Expect a wait during peak meal hours, but the line does go fast. Just wish it was closer to where I live. On second thought, maybe not. :-)

Gerry Donuts

Reviewed By Alexandra C

My friend and I had been craving "fancy donuts" at school and came across this place online. In a pretty sketchy plaza but the donuts were fantastic! Nice and soft, however the woman working said their best seller (honey dip) sells out within a half hour to hour of opening! This is no "donut crazy" but a nice treat (and not a Dunkin donut). Also only $3.09 for a half dozen!! Overall worth the trip!

UTSAV Indian Cuisine

Reviewed By Renee V - Cromwell, Connecticut

For appetizers we ordered both the lamb and vegetable samosas. These abundantly filled, tender pastries where beyond delicious. Entrees included lamb Rogan Josh, tandoori chicken, lamb biryani. All the dishes exceeded our expectations. Tandoori chicken was moist, unlike most restaurants serve. However, The standout dish was the lamb Rogan Josh. This is by far the best Rogan Josh I’ve ever tasted. The amount of lamb was worthy of being called a dinner entree... unlike many Indian restaurants where you rely on rice and sauce to fill you up. Service was outstanding. Highly recommend this restaurant.

La Brioche Bakery

Reviewed By Richard S - Hull, Massachusetts

La Brioche Bakery makes great French Breads. Nice a crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They make three to four different shapes along with rolls. The ingredients in the breads all seem to be the same since they taste the same. They also offer a variety of pastries.

Trattoria da Lepri

Reviewed By lifesgood83 - Ellington, Connecticut

This restaurant always has a varied menu. We had the brie antipasto and the eggplant caponata, Followed by the Caesar salad and a scallop dinner. The meals were plentiful and tasteful. The presentation is always outstanding. This is not an inexpensive restaurant. Drinks and the meals are on the pricey side but you always get what you pay for.

Join us at the coffee shop for a delicious cup of Kevin's House Blend or the Flavor of the Day. Sit down, relax, and enjoy yourself. Read a book, use the free WIFI, or just have a fun conversation with your friends, Kevin, or some of the coffee shop regulars.

Reviewed By Nichole G

I've been coming here to get coffee beans for at least 5-6 years and the people are always the nicest. Kevin the owner, you'll catch him at the shop at some point every single day, and the coffee is exquisite. Bursting with flavor and depth.
I don't get my coffee beams form anywhere else. ☺

Yummy!!!! Great salads, pizzas, and calzones!! Nice atmosphere and good service. Very relaxing place to eat. The pizzas are all wood fired with a thin crispy crust. Love the toppings too. Tuscan chicken pizza is awesome!!

Vernon Diner

Reviewed By Nellie F - Cape Elizabeth, Maine

We hate rest stops and fast food. When we leave Maine in the afternoon for NYC, we stop at the Vernon Diner as it is off 84 and provides the wide menu that is quintessential diner. Great service from the waitresses. Their soups are outstanding. This is a great place to take a break.
